A name rooted in purpose

Mature Dr. May Edward Chinn.Young Dr. May Edward Chinn.

Mae is named in honor of Dr. May Edward Chinn, the first Black woman to graduate from what is now NYU School of Medicine. Barred from hospital practice, she built her own, serving Black families in Harlem who were denied care elsewhere.

Her story is a reminder that resilience, innovation, and compassion have always been at the center of community care. Our name is a tribute to her—and to the doulas, birth workers, and advocates who continue that legacy today.

As seen in

Mae's work has been featured in national publications and recognized for its impact on maternal health, equity, and innovation.

And here's the silver lining: Research shows that access to the right support—like doulas, personalized support, targeted symptom monitoring, and early interventions—can dramatically improve outcomes.
